Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hint- This problem can be solved using unitary method.
A recipe for trail miss uses 7 ounces of almonds with 5 ounces of raisins.
If we mix almond and raisin in equal proportion we get 7+5=12 ounces.
We know that 16 ounces make 1 pond.
Hence, in a mixture of 12 ounces we have 5 ounce of raisin,
so in a mixture of 1 ounces we have [tex]\dfrac{5}{12}[/tex] ounce of raisin,
so in a mixture of 16 ounces we will have [tex]\dfrac{5}{12}\times 16=\dfrac{20}{3}=6\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] ounces of raisin.
Therefore, the amount of almond is =[tex]16-\dfrac{20}{3}=\dfrac{28}{3}=9\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] ounces.
